Vitamin K1 (or phylloquinone) plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation system. Solid “patches”, blood clots that stop bleeding, are formed in the places of damage to the vessels due to it. In case of vitamin deficiency, the protective mechanism fails and the amount of blood loss increases manifold. Natural product Vitamin K1, containing the optimal dose of phylloquinone in one pill, helps restore the balance in the hemostatic system and prevent health problems efficiently.
How does Vitamin K1 works?
One of the major factors of blood coagulation is synthesized from vitamin K1 in the liver. It’s called prothrombin. When the walls of the vessels are damaged, it initiates a cascade of reactions leading to the formation of a blood clot. To create a sufficient level of prothrombin in the blood, all adults need to consume 90-120 mcg of vitamin K1 daily.
For whom is Vitamin K1 especially useful?
It is recommended to take the product when the first signs of vitamin K deficiency in the body occur, namely:
- frequent nose bleeding,
- increased gum bleeding,
- multiple bruises on the skin,
- bleeding from the digestive tract,
- painful, excessive menstruation in women.
Regular intake of Vitamin K1 will also be useful in the following conditions, creating an increased threat of nutritional shortage:
- liver cirrhosis,
- cholelithiasis,
- dyskinesia of bile ducts,
- cystic fibrosis,
- coeliac disease,
- Crohn’s disease,
- long-term intake of anticoagulants,
- long-term hemodialysis,
- severe burns,
- insufficient consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits (since phylloquinone is found mainly in plant foods).
